Kawauchi proved that every strongly negative amphichiral knot (Formula Presented) bounds a smoothly embedded disk in some rational homology ball VK, whose construction a priori depends on K. We show that VK is inde-pendent of K up to diffeomorphism. Thus, a single 4-manifold, along with connected sums thereof, accounts for all known examples of knots that are rationally slice but not slice.
